Description:
The accurate measurement of Lean Body Mass is now the most rational basis for nutritional and exercise prescriptions. The importance of clinical body composition is now being recognized. With the recent interest in personal health, nutritional status and fitness, several methods of estimating body fat have been developed and used in clinical settings. Tanita has a unique advantage over other bio-electrical impedance units. Their unit allows measurements without having people lie down. Moreover, Tanita, by measuring from the soles of feet, allows a direct measure of body weight at the same time. To make a weight and body composition measurement, a person only needs to stand barefooted on the Tanita scales. The body fat measurement is then quickly made at the same time the weight measurements is made.
